Sphinx drilling

A heap leach bulk test is being undertaken by the company, which intends to perform a pre-production test at the site this summer involving a 55,000-ton sample.

Drilling was carried out within a 16.6- to 33.3-ft grill, and to a depth of about 100 ft. Tests last year involving a gravity mill on loads of 16.5 to 87 tons revealed grades of 0.07 to 0.18 oz gold per ton.

Among the better drilling results were 0.19 oz over 34.4 ft in hole 25, 0.26 oz over 5 ft in hole 132 and 0.18 oz over 5 ft in hole 142.
